I printed a selection of 4×6 photos wirelessly from my phone, and I was amazed by the quality; they look like they were printed at a photo lab!

The pictures are odorless, vivid, bright, and true to the original; the 4×6 photos take about 20 seconds to produce. You can also print up to 8×10 size photos without borders.

Printing from an SD card is simple, too. You simply insert the card in the slot and then the pictures on the card will show on the LCD; from there, you can choose which pictures to print. It couldn’t be easier!

Here’s the back of the printer; a quick examination shows there is no phone line port, so there is no fax function. Those of us who no longer use a landline won’t miss that feature, but if you need to send and receive faxes through a landline, the XP-640 isn’t set up for that.

The Epson Expression Premium XP-640 Small-in-One Printer is easy to setup, easy to operate, and it produces excellent printed pages and lab-quality photos. The printing cartridges can be bought singly in ‘regular’ or ‘extra capacity’ or in multipacks.
